Chandigarh : The distribution of Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojana cards is set to gather pace across Punjab, with around 33 lakh cards expected to be available in the districts shortly as the state government moves towards covering all eligible beneficiaries.
Dedicated distribution camps will be organised at these locations, allowing beneficiaries to collect their cards closer to home. The camp-based distribution will begin after the formal launch of the Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojana card distribution programme by Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann. The government has set a target of completing distribution at these camps within one week of the launch. The government expects the remaining cards to be distributed through the door-to-door mechanism within two weeks after the completion of the camp-based exercise. The Punjab government aims to complete the distribution of Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojana cards across the state within the stipulated period, with the focus on ensuring that no eligible beneficiary is left out.
To speed up the process, the government has identified around 2,008 villages and wards where more than 400 beneficiaries are eligible for the cards.
Health and Family Welfare Minister Dr Balbir Singh said around 31 lakh Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojana cards had already reached the districts, while another 2 lakh cards are expected to arrive soon.
